CORE 101: Anime Fundamentals [EZ Printable Format] [Bibliography]

by Frank Sanchez
Frank is co-webmaster of AnimeInfo.org and its main designer. He also works for an annual Anime Convention in the Midwest, Anime Central. An anime/manga fan for the past 10-12 years with varying tastes (including Ranma 1/2, Evangelion, Kenshin, and Nadesico, among others), Frank insists that he is absolutely normal, eliciting laughter from pretty much anyone who meets him.

Overview

If you've ever wondered exactly what anime was, or if you're completely new to the anime movement, look no farther than this basic class from AnimeInfo.org's Anime University. Knowing the fundamentals of anime is the first building block towards understanding exactly why anime hair knows no limit when it comes to color, why international networks sometimes edit anime, and why some of those few trick or treaters at Halloween look like schoolgirls that escaped from a finishing school.

This simple course will teach you the basics of Japanese animation, with a brief history, some of the most basic things to know, and a starting point for first-time consumption. Frank gives you a basic tour of the genre using the most basic of terms. By the time you finish with this first course, you'll have a small working knowledge of the most essential selling points of anime. It won't really make you a anime "guru", but you'll definitely not leave the course as an anime "dummy"!
